Professor Aiken is a great teacher and I love his compilers course. However as for the parsering stage, that course goes as maximum as to SLR(1) which is pretty "toy" parsing mode. That's the problem with a combined "compilers class" -- one simply can't put everything, and everything is becoming slightly superficial. That's why I have Parsers and Garbage Collectors class as separate and fully specialized course.
